Pat Green's boat capsized!

13 Staples from Bay Medical. Released around 5:30pm. He is doing well, a bit of a headache.

Correct. The "Red Menace" was/is a catamaran. The "Steel Slinger" is the newton.

It would be an odd feeling to surface and see the bottom of the hull of your boat above water off in the distance, but probably a lot odder to see the deck of the boat from your deco stop...

Kinda like the start of the movie Fool's Gold..

Glad to hear no one was hurt. I would confidently dive with this captain since it sounds like he handled the situation calmly and collectively.

I know lots of dive boats I have been on where if something like this happened, I think panic and confusion would have ruled the day. I know of one dive boat in the Philippines that a friend of ours was on that capsized and the capt and crew simply left the passengers and swam on their own towards shore.

Good job to the capt!

I will dive with the OP and the Captain Reed again.

Creative way to include a wreck dive in the itinerary.
Humor aside, glad it turned out better than it could have. Kudos to the crew, passengers and the boat assisting.

I don't know that boat. Glad it wasn't Steel Slinger.

I assume this was his six pack boat and not his Newton?

I don't know that boat. Glad it wasn't Steel Slinger.

Pat just recently in the last year got the Cat to run as a 6-pack. I've not been on it yet.

That sucks, at least no one was seriously hurt.

No, not the last year...the last three months!
